Line of the Day: May 17th, 2011

C Brian McCann of the Atlanta Braves came off the bench in the ninth inning to tie the game with a pinch-hit, two-out solo home run, then hit a two-run shot in the bottom of the 11th to lead the Braves in a walk-off 3-1 win against the Houston Astros.

Line: 2 AB, 2 R, 2 H, 3 RBI; 2 HR

My fantasy perspective: McCann's big night launched him from the tenth-ranked catcher to the fifth-ranked on ESPN's Player Rater. He came into the season as the fourth-ranked catcher, so owners are now getting closer to what they paid for with an ESPN ADP of 50.9 and a Yahoo! ADP of 53.7. He's currently on pace for  a 15 HR/85 RBI season, which is below his career average of 24 HR/100 RBI, so expect him to continue to heat up as the weather does.
